Last week I bought a Juicer. I researched all of the juicers on the market and narrowed my choices down to just a few. Then after much pain staking research, sole searching and pocketbook checking, I decided on the one I could afford rather than the one I really wanted:-) Isn't that just how it is in life!
At any rate, the one I could afford, seems to be just the one I needed! Imagine that? (God must get such a kick out of me!) I have been having so much fun making fresh juice out of all kinds of fruits and vegetables. Yum!
I thought I'd share a few thoughts about this whole "juicing" thing:
1. It takes a little bit more time than I thought it would, but as I get used to doing it, I find that I'm becoming more efficient and therefore speedier.
2. It's more expensive than I thought it would be. I was really only thinking about the initial cost of the machine itself. However, it takes quite a lot of fruit and vegetables to make one or two glasses of juice. If you buy organic, juicing can be VERY expensive.
3. The juice tastes SO much better than I expected.
4. I find I am far less hungry throughout the day and have far more energy.
5. I feel less moody, anxious, and irritable.
****Hmm, maybe I won't need that anti-depressant prescription after all? I think the money I will save by not needing prescriptions and seeing the doctor less often will make up for the added expense of juicing.****
In case you are wondering, I bought the Breville Juice Fountain Plus. I think it does a decent job of extracting juice and it does so relatively quietly, quickly and neatly. It's easy to clean and the parts are dishwasher safe. A friend recommended the Vita Mix Juicer/Mixer. Yes, that would be my first choice for sure, however, my pocketbook couldn't support that juicer, so the Breville works just fine for now.
So there you have it. Bottoms up!
